The NMU EcoReps invite students (working individually or in small teams) to submit proposals to make NMU a more sustainable campus. Projects can range from student awareness programs to behavior-changing campaigns to infrastructure upgrades or installations (e.g., demonstration solar garden, composting innovation, tree planting, etc.). Transportation, energy efficiency, upcycling and waste management are just a few of the many areas to consider! Be creative and thoughtful!

Proposal submissions MUST include an estimated project budget. Thus, the budget should not only address the actual cost to implement the idea, but it should also include research about the potential cost savings, environmental impacts, and any other financial information necessary to consider the long-term impact of the proposed idea on NMU’s campus.
